Asynchronous Web Apps made easy with Python

With the increasing popularity of microservices, the number of API requests and messages passed within every system is skyrocketing. It is crucial to handle those messages efficiently. One of the ways to do so is by using asynchronous frameworks proven to pass the C10k challenge. We will try the two most popular async tools in Python: AsyncIO and Tornado. Starting from scratch, we will write a simple async handler and make it serve a chain of requests, ensuring the efficient usage of system resources.
